“Stay Away!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

Trip Advisor you failed me big time on this hotel. Was flying out very early in the morning, and because of your positive reviews, I booked this hotel.When we drove up, and parked, I started getting nervous, as it looked like it could be a Motel 6 kind of place. Walking in to the lobby,I felt like bolting right then, but my husband who had driven for three hours was wanting to stay. Against my gut level feeling, I asked to see the room, and am I ever glad I did!!! Here comes the good part. I go up in the smelly elevator to the third floor, and there in the hall is this man sitting , with his socks off, on the cell, drinking a quart of beer!!!! It gets better, His friend is walking the hall on his phone , also drinking a can of beer. The rooms had towels under the unoccupied rooms, with the windows open. That did it for me, I went down stairs and told the very nice desk clerk, that we were leaving and finding another place. He totally understood. I think he saw the horror on my face!!!!

I would have rather stayed up all night, than to have stayed at this place.We did find a very nice hotel, and lesson learned for me, is you only get what you pay for. Comfort, and safety will always come first after this experience. Peace of mind is worth the few extra dollars

“Great place for price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

We needed a place to stay for a night and tired of driven, and stopped here. Front desk was the best with cutting a decent rate and advise on a resaraunt. By the way just down the street is a italian place, Franks I think. The best. Great price, great service, owner even walks you out. Back to the hotel, well bed was good and room fairly clean. May be a little noisy for some as main drag outside window, but I enjoyed it to watch the action. (accident at intersection with guy taking off down 1 way). Free breakfast in morning was good for free. Boiled eggs waffles and fruit. All in all good place for the price, with nice lookin pool that we never used.

“Great value, great service, peace of mind!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel the last night before returning home from LAX. This hotel is a little outdated, but clean and we slept good. It is affordable and provides a free shuttle service to LAX. Also I wanted to return my rental car to Budget that day, in order to avoid the hassle of doing it the next morning. When I told the gentleman at the desk about my concern to how to get back to the hotel, he said not to worry. Just drive it there and when you are ready, just give us a call and the shuttle will pick you up within half an hour at the rental outlet. This is what we call service and great peace of mind. At night, we had an excellent dinner at the Chinese Restaurant right on the premises. It was delicious and they give you plenty. We also had a complimentary breakfast the next morning. We left the hotel at the time we had scheduled and we were taken to the Airport in time, relaxed and trouble free. Great way to end a vacation.

“Outdated but bed was comfortable.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel. Check in was odd. It was a prepaid reservation from Expedia.com and she asked me for a credit card. I told her that it was prepaid. No need to hand over a credit card. I didn't want to fight to have anything removed from my card!! The decor was outdated. Although the bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was tiny but served it's purpose. I would return for the price.

“Honest and helpful staff; especially Rick at the front desk!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

Pleasant stay, good service, and HONEST staff made our unintended overnight in LA enjoyable. After being bumped off our flight to Kansas city, we ended up at this hotel. I was traveling with my elderly mother who left clothing and her engagement ring in our room. I called after returning home when my mom realized she forgot clothing in closet. RICK had a bag from housekeeping. CELIA had cleaned our room. In it were the clothes AND the ring. Mom didn't even realize it was missing. Package was sent to me in Kansas City, everything intact. RICK even made a couple of follow up calls to make sure we received the package. Very impressive, especially these days!
